    Cool building, but unfortunately is a hotspot to showcase our homeless/drug problem. 

    Be careful to not step on any needles on the walk there...

    Yes, but it’s been “cleaned up” a bit in the last couple months. Keep an eye out for gun toting Navy officers tho.

    My 7yo and I are staying closer to the airport, nearest rail stop is ~Columbia City.

    Any locals or regular visitors have any advice on commuting? I'm not opposed to a park and walk, but would be happy to take public transportation. 

    Is parking near the stops easy to find/cheap? Does the rail run late/frequently enough to get home easy after the lights go up? I've spent some time researching, but some of this info isn't easy to find.

    I like the light rail overall and it does run late, like 1am ish. It does not connect with or go into the Seattle Center area, where the arena is, so you’ll have to either bus or take the monorail (separate and different from the light rail) from the Westlake stop, vice versa when heading back. The bus system is solid and generally reliable and much cheaper than Uber, which is out of control price-wise in Seattle. Parking in the city can also be pricy and driving is a pain in the ass through certain parts at certain times. I would use public trans as much as possible, especially getting to and out of the show(s). But I’m cheap and like to relax.

    On another note, definitely go to Dona Queen donuts in Columbia City if you’re staying in that area. It’s a block from the Columbia City light rail stop. Best donuts in Seattle, imo.

    Thanks a bunch! We're staying in the Seward Park area, so I think we'll drive to the Columbia City stop and then jump on the monorail, my kid will love that. She'll also love to stop and get donuts, thanks for the tip!

    Remember the person that leaked all the tour dates back in early December also said there would be a secret/surprise show in Seattle in late April!  Seems most have forgotten that as I dont see any talk about it.  I'd expect it to probably be at either the Showbox or the Moore or Paramount theater.
